This summer, The All Ireland Tour (of All of Ireland) will commence on the 15th of August.
Isaac Jones, Henry Earnest and Passersby, along with many other Independent Irish
artists will play a series of 32 shows, one in each county, before finishing in Dublin on the
15th of September. This is the first time that a tour of this scale has ever been attempted in
Ireland.
The travelling party is composed of some of the most exciting emerging artists from Dublin.
Isaac Jones, Passersby and Henry Earnest will be travelling the full extent of the country
bringing their respective live shows to every part of the island.
Isaac Jones began releasing music in July of 2019. He released a slew of singles and an EP
in 2020 before taking a break for nearly 3 years. This hiatus is concluding with The All
Ireland Tour, and the release of the EP GET LOST!, coming out in early August.
Isaac Jones blend of Indie and RnB has seen much support globally since the release of his
first single Listen, garnering him over a million streams across his work, and his new release
is the announcement of a new direction, more oriented towards distortion and noise while
maintaining the attention to songwriting that is always at the core of his work.
Passersby is a producer and songwriter from Dublin, Ireland. The solo moniker of Diarmuid
O’ Connor, formerly of Angular Hank, Passersby has been releasing moody folktronica since
2021. His music eschews categorization, taking the listener through a variety of genres, from
shoegaze and noise, to folk and pop, all of which balance on dense atmospheric textures
and lush production. Passersby is taking his band on The All Ireland Tour, where they will
bring his arrangements to life. He is currently finishing work on the followup to his eclectic
2021 cassette ALWAYS.
Henry Earnest is a producer and songwriter from Dublin. After 2018's pop influenced
mixtape "When You Get Caught Between The Moon & Dublin City", Henry spent four
years developing a more intimate and personal artistic approach. This led to the 7 tracks
comprising 2023’s "Dream River". The album sees him continue his long-standing
dedication to the emotional catharsis unique to pop-music, while also using the genre as a
means by which to flirt with a larger range of ambient and experimental atmospheres and
styles.
This tour is being organised and carried out totally independently. A compilation of
unreleased work from the 4 main members of the tour will be available on BandCamp with a
pay what you want fee in order to fund accommodation and travel costs incurred on the tour.
Merch will also be available designed by acclaimed up and coming Dublin artist Kevin
Judge. The poster and typeface has been designed by recent NCAD graduate Anna Frizelle.
The “Dress Rehearsal” will be an open show taking place in Dublin city very early in August,
right before the tour takes place.
